Good vibes for my seasonal experience at OnTrac - Package Handler OnTrac Employee Review

Pros

As a seasonal Package Handler, I really liked the leadership there at the Kent warehouse and the employees (orange vest leads, grey vest permanent employees and other blue/yellow vest seasonal employees). You start the shift being told what is ahead for that day and then you go to it. There is a big difference in the lightest work, which may be clothes retail bag packages, and the heaviest work, which may be team lifting tires heavier than 50 pounds. There is good employee appreciation with pizza or tacos, etc.

Cons

If this is your first package handler experience, it is important to realize that you are expected to come in around Peak Season and really produce, which (as a pro there is a seasonal premium) is expected with the volume and with that seasonal premium- the con is that sometimes the direction on how to do seemingly simple tasks is a bit nuanced. After a seasonal role, I found that because of the inherent nature of there being different sized boxes, loading a trailer is not an exact science.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed being part of the team at our Kent warehouse, especially the leadership and the teamwork across the different groups. That kind of support makes a big difference during peak season. Our operations move fast and, as you mentioned, the work can vary quite a bit from lighter packages to heavier team lifts, so we appreciate the effort and flexibility that goes into every shift. It’s also great to hear the team created moments for employee appreciation along the way. We also appreciate your feedback around communication, especially during situations like severe weather. Clear and timely updates are important, and insights like yours help us continue to improve how we support our teams. We appreciate everything you and the rest of the team do to keep things moving.

Pros

The company provides an environment where I can be myself and contribute in a meaningful way. The team works together and supports one another during busy periods, challenges, and day-to-day operations. One of the most rewarding aspects of the job is seeing associates develop their skills and advance within the company. There are opportunities to make an impact, build relationships, and help others grow professionally.

Cons

Workload and staffing needs can fluctuate significantly during peak periods, which can create challenges for teams managing high volumes.
